| For Immediate Release, Tuesday 3 November, 2020 Activists head to Flemington Gates as Anthony Van Dyke is Announced Dead in the Cup Coalition for the Protection of Racehorses (CPR) are now making their way to the Flemington gates after distressing but not surpising scenes of a horse breaking down badly in the Melbourne Cup hit Australian screens. “5 year old Anthony Van Dyke has broken down in the Melbourne Cup declared dead” said CPR Campaign Director Elio Celotto. “These are not accidents, these are inevitable incidents that can’t be avoided, because racehorses are pushed too far and too often.” “On average, one horse is killed on Australian racetracks every three days. The death of Anthony Van Dyke means seven deaths in eight years in the Melbourne Cup” he said. CPR will be at the track for interviews or available on the numbers below. ENDS |
